Durham Charges Steele Dossier Sub-Source with Five Counts of False Statements to FBI

On Thursday, federal agents arrested Igor Danchenk, the primary sub-source who contributed to the unverified Steele dossier, as part of Special Counsel John Durham’s probe. Durham has been investigating the origins of the Donald Trump-Russia collusion claims following the 2016 election.

"Danchenko's arrest is linked to a federal grand jury indictment in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Durham is charging Danchenko, a Russian citizen residing in Virginia, with five counts of making false statements to the FBI," a Fox News report says.

"The charges stemmed from statements Danchenko made relating to the sources he used in providing information to an investigative firm in the United Kingdom."
